>> lynyrd skynyrd the southern rock band are here and will rock the house! [cheers and applause]. >> i love america and, in part because it allows different points of view and encourages individuality, and i said many times republicans aren't right all this time and democrats aren't wrong all the time. and, my perspective most of the time but not all the time. it is as if our point of view makes us right and the other guys wrong and having views is a good thing and different standards, is no. if something is right it's righted and if wrong, wrong and diversity is good but duplicity is not and have different rules based on gender ethnicity and

religion and political parties, creates cynicism, and distrust. and precludes problem solving and prohibits the trust that is necessary to work towards a solution. it is equally wrong for a democratic like allen graceson to say his republican colleagues in congress, won't -- want sick people to die quickly. and joe wilson, apologized and get sense insured by the house and alan grayson was belligerent and nancy pelosi found nothing wrong with the comments and in nancy land there are different sets of rules.

his own guilty plea, and there should be no defense of him from anybody. and what he did was evil, and reprehensible. and the fact that he is a great director, does not obscure the fact that he robbed a child -- roman polanski, respond robbed a child far more than bernie madoff stole from his victims and what is our culture when people commit despicable criminal acts and get defended and excused because they are celebrities. if david let martin takes advantages of those who work for him it's not funny. it is pathetic and immoral. and the audience shouldn't laugh and applaud, they ought to walk out in disgust and instead of actors and governments seeking to release roman polanski, ought to be screaming for justice, and our country was brilliantly designed by our founders, and nurtured in the providence of god to withstand many points of view but it cannot stand having different rules of propriety, based on a person's celebrity status. you know, i miss the days when we might have been divided by

politics but not on the basic principles of morality. and having grown up in the tv drama drag net i loved how this creators of this youtube video, imagined the way the roman polanski case, would have been hand, by sergeant joe friday. watch. >> they don't understand, why should they be -- should be punished for their pensions they -- penchant they had with young women. >> it took me a month to wash that you have filth and waited for the young girl to come along and you said you'd take her for a ride and got her into your car and she cried and then what you did to her. get your head up when i'm talking to you, every hoodlum, you learned to hide behind a quirk in the law, and, mister, you have graduated. moved to the sewer. a child molester. ! ♪ >> well, i can't speak for you, but, i will take joe friday's values, over roman polanski's,

any day of the week. [applause] that is my view and i welcome yours, contact me at mikehuckabee.com and click on feedback and share whatever comments you wanted to. and recent polls so president obama's approval ratings hit a new low and as conan o'brien is about to show us, you might be surprised at his latest critic. >> the first lady, went on sesame street and she talked to kids about gardening and eating healthy. that's right. all going very well, but then big bird showed up and things got... a little uncomfortable. look: >> well, look whose here to push your husband's socialist health care agenda. >> big bird, i'm not... >> not what the basket bunch says. >> your husband is a stinkin' liar. >> we're going to run oil out of office! yeah! [applause].

>> i think conan o'brien was kidding and i don't think big bird really said that stuff but it was pretty good comedy and, the president says he wants to wipe israel off the map. iran's threat of a nuclear strike goes beyond the middle east. and comes right here to us in america, and iran's leaders say they want to keep talking, and can we take them that the air word, we'll talk about that with k. c. mcfarland who served under president's nixon and ford and the reagan administration and jed babbitt, under secretary for president bush 41. thanks for being here today. [applause]. >> pleasure. >> when i'm reading the papers on any given hour, not just day, my heart is skipping a beat, i'm watching what is going on in iran, and, i don't know if a lot of americans fully understand the single most important issue taking place in our planet now, as part of the -- it may be what is happening in iran, with their

build-up, of enriched uranium with the possibility of creating a women. >> right. >> what a is that dangerous and matter to americans. >> okay. because iran is going for the bomb, i mean, that is clear and we have caught them red handed with the second nuclear enrichment site and they are going for it and what does it mean, iran, if they get nuclear weapons, there is a nuclear arms race in the middle east, and the rush to get... that is like throwing a match in a gasoline filled room, and the other alternative, is that iran looks like it is getting there and we cane have an effective negotiation system and israel, potentially, preempts iran's missile program again, unleashing a disaster and not as bad, as the nuclear iran which threatens america. >> and israel wants to do the preemptive strike and assumptionings are they'll do it before they allow iran to get the weapons and what does the u.s. do at that point, it will not be a popular decision on the

part of israel but we have been would you this only friend they've had. >> i think it will happen, very quickly. governor, i think that the build -- to build on what c. k. said there are only two choices here and either a military strike or accepting iran as a nuclear power and we will not negotiate with them and to think otherwise is to go against history and these guys haven't in power 30 years and no one ever conduct aid successful negotiation, to change the behavior and what happens and i believe israel will strike before the end of the year and you'll see a violent 48 hours if the israelis manage to get through it without suffering mass casualties, i think things will then calm down, a bit, if the israelis look like they are going down, i don't believe the president will intervene to save them, and i think at that point, the arab states, also the persians may jump in against israel. >> i don't know there is a 48 hour window and we are okay, and i think iran, would retaliate by

the straits of hormuz through which 40% of the world's oil flows and you have $5 gallon of gas, is expensive, add the zero, because that would shoot the price way up. >> if they create the blockade, products cannot get out and the problem iran has, they don't have goose lean and have oil, and don't refine. >> bingo. >> but the problem is, we have exercised no real muscle with the russians or the chinese, to create the kind of go litigation, in fact we gave something to the russians and got nothing out of it and i don't understand the strategy behind the administration in terms of we're looking at an increasingly volatile situation in iran and rather than creating this very powerful coalition with the russians and the chinese we're giving stuff away. >> i never thought i'd live to see the day where the president of france is chastising the president of the u.s. for being an appeaser and is a cultural shock i can barely handle, this is a problem and the man and the olympic failure is just another example of it, and he believes

by his sheer personal charm he can change things and i don't believe his power is that great and failed again and again and again, and, the obama diploma mace is not well -- diplomacy is not well respect and we will not negotiate with iran and we can go back and forth and our navy can keep the straits of hormuz open and the problem will be what else they turn on, his -- hezbollah and hamas and terror groups. >> and the sleeper cells, and including the -- >> i think one thing we have to be concerned about is that, even though iran doesn't possess long range missiles that could hit our shores they could put something in a fishing boat off the coast. >> sure. sure. >> and more importantly, the sleeper cells that exist that we have just seen, in terms of recent things here in the u.s., could be uncorked and that would be dangerous. >> and there is one thing -- >> and you have to take the break and we'll start right there with you, because, there is a lot more, for us to talk about, probably more than we'll get to and don't you go away,

because, what we're about to tell you, you need to understand. we'll touch your life, and will touch it sooner than you ishd wished it did. we'll be right back.

>> we are back with casey and jed babbin talking about the unique and explosive and dangerous volatile situation we have in iran. you were in the middle of a thought and i so rudely interrupted you to go to the break. i will let you go. >> we have one shot: crip poling sanctions. we should impose them and not be lulled into the sense of geneva

negotiations to delay sanctions because the iranians are playing out the clock, luring us along and in 18 months say, we have nuclears! crippling sanctions now that we would let up on if the iranians change their behaviors. >> i read some changes you have spoken or perhaps written in publications in "human events," which you are editor, you say you cannot blame all of this on obama, the previous administration didn't put some force in place against iran when we should have been bankrupting them so we don't have to bomb them. now we may not have an option. >> at this point we don't. with all respect to k.t. there is no sanction to be made because one sanction that would work, the cut off of gasoline exports, russia is pumping more and venezuela announced they will send more gasoline so we cannot do that. but, yes, more bush has to suffer some of the blame for this. indeed, more clinton, does, too. if you ask his attorneys, iran

has been lying about the nuclear program since 1981, give or take so there is a lot of blame to go around in the olden days which i will define as "the bush 43" administration. we actually had the opportunity to fund and fuel a revolution, the young people there don't like this regime. i believe that window has closed. i don't believe we have the time to do that anymore. right now we have to act. and i just don't think ... >> you are talking 18 months, not five years -- 18 months between now and when iran gets the bomb. >> you are bringing up there was a moment, that opportunity, after the election, when ahmadinejad was put back in power under what appeared to be fraud and people went to the streets and if the united states, and the rest of the free world could have given them encouragement -- they did not have to go in militarily -- it could have been enough to put oxygen to the flame but, instead, we say that's not our business. >> my old boss, ronald reagan,

with labor union movement in poland and solidarity, reagan continually, continually, encouraged them and said "go for it," and compare that to what president obama did, a silent treatment for reform movement. >> he put more pressure on the israelis thought to let 20 jewish families to move into a hotel than on the entire iranian government for killing 20-year-olds in the streets after the election. this has been historic week, we learned that general mccrystal only had one conversation with the president and they have a conversation, finally, and white house is leaking stuff like a broken pipe to the "washington post" saying that the president may not follow the advice of his general and what does this mean for the u.s. and middle east policy? >> i'm afraid we will see a mccrystal-light formula that could create a higher risk to american troops on the ground

and we will lose more people than if we went in big. i'm not a fan of nation-building and i am not sure the bigger strategy will work but the fact of the matter is right now, mcchrystal is the worst possible. >> the military said after vietnam, never again we will have our military leaders tell us to do something we cannot do but that is what happened after iraq with rumsfeld sending in enough troops for defeat but nothing more and now they are saying "i need 40,000 more troops," and if we try to split the difference it is the worst of all because it bleeds. it is a slow bleed, the worst for the american military. >> yes-or-no as we close to each of you: he said he has to have 40,000 just to stay when the boundaries of winning; if he doesn't get it, does he resign and pull a mccar thursday and say that's -- mcarthur?

>> i think so. >> what do you think? >> even money that general general will do, because mccrhystal has the guts to say, miles per hour, i can't do it," and then lay down his stars. >> thank you, both. being forced to buy health insurance or pay a fine for not having it, we will ask a group of people who are faced with that predicament, possibly. we will go do that next. don't go away. we have a lot on the)d)d)d)d)d)d

i believe members of congress ought to be reminded they work for us. we don't work for them. rather than continue to spend money they don't have and push deficits through the sky, and

make it tougher for families to get jobs and pay bills they need to balance the budget, cut their spending, and save american families from the disaster of debt and deficits. i'm collecting electronic signatures to deliver a message to congress and i want you to be part of what i hope will be 100,000 people signing our "balance cut and save petition." you can go to balancecutsave.com and lend your name and voice along with mine to remind congress who they work for. by the way, a thing we did, we put this on greta the other night and the servers crashed so if you go -- if it says "unavailable" -- keep trying. i want you to join us. sign that petition. let's tell congress that we want them to balance the budget. we want them to cut spending and save american families.

a proposed health care bill makes it mandatory for everyone in america to have health insurance and those who don't are subjected to a heavy fine, even going to jail. i want to talk people in their 20's, younger people who don't necessarily place health insurance at the top of their priority list and ask them how they feel about it. we have folks in our audience we have asked to come. these are young professionals. clark, molly, and kelsy. thanks to each of you. clark, you are employed in a small, nonprofit organization. >> yes. >> but right now, if your 20's, you are saying, i can't afor -- afford health insurance. it will cost more with everything else i have. >> i work for a small nonprofit, a startup, and i don't make a lot. i have money in my personal budget. i could my a private health insurance plan but i have made

the choice to not buy a land, instead, to save my money and put it in the bank so i have flexibility and also to invest this my health. i try to eat healthy. i pay for my gym membership and i try to be pro-active rather than taking a bet on insurance, you know, whether i get sick after the fact. >> if you lift weights at the gym and mess up your back, have tanked enough way in the bank to sell insure? >> yes. i would like to think so. i could buy a high deductible plan for $100 a month right now. over a year thats $1,200 and over time, you know, i have been able to save up enough to pay for my needs that i have. >> this is dr. molly. you are a dentist. and you think it would be great if everyone has insurance but should the government tell everybody, including your patients, they have to have

insurance? >> i don't believe that's a good idea. i don't believe coercion is ever the answer. i think the government can go about this in a different manner. i think education and communication are key. funding that is very important. so that people can make informed decisions, can make the right decisions. they can accept what the government is putting forth. by putting a penalty or a fine, you are putting the word "health care" and "doctor" and "punishment," in the same arena. that can hurt or image. we train because we want to help people. i make myself available 24 hours a day to my parents who really care about their health. and i do it through the internet. i use hot lists, and facebook, and i use twitter linked in, my cell phone is on 24 hours of the day. so, if you make the effort -- as a young professional i

understand because i'm growing up with that generation. i as a dentist, for the past few months, have not been able to afford my own malpractice and disability insurance. do i want it? do i understand the importance? yes. and the people i'm buying from understand that. and they're helping me. they're not punishing me for not having it. >> an important point, you don't want to associate what you do with delivering health care services as a former of punishment. and kilsey i understand it is tough enough to make end's meet to buy groceries and pay rent. if you had to spent a couple hund dread a more for health insurance what does it mean to your lifestyle? >> it wouldn't be feasible. i'm just out of school when the last year. i have, you know, student loans, rent, a number of other bills i juggle and finding it hard even to get all the groceries i need.

that is part of becoming an adult and everything. but, if i were to, you know, to i needed another $200 to fit into that budget, right now it would not be possible. >> what do you think of the government finding you -- right now you would be a person that says, okay, you will pay a fine, possibly up to $25,000. or a year in jail. is it right to put -- how do you feel about that? >> that is a scary concept. i understand the poll is meant, you -- the policy is meant with good intentions and supposedly it will be affordable but for me, that's going to affect me directly and i want to know how it will become affordable. if it turns out that it is not, i'm going to be fined or put in jail. that is a scary concept. clark, what about you? you would be one of those persons because you are self-insuring. what about a fine? do you feel that is fair, the government would tell you "pay up." >> no, i am terrified.

prospect, it is scary they can force me to buy a service that i don't want, that i have cloazen not to buy and? i don't they are going to fine me for it? that's insane. that's not america. >> a final thing, i understand you supported obama in the legislation; is this a good idea he is pushing? >> this particular aspect of it is, you know, scary to me and i don't think it could be the wisest way to go about it. i'm sure that, you know, with everyone collaborating, maybe we can come up with a better option tore this particular part. obviously, it's terrifying to these young people to think the government might come after them -- not for committing a crime, not because they robbed a bank or stole money but because they didn't have insurance. think about that. that's something the senate is going to take up soon. thank you you all, thank you very: >> and next we have michael who cannot hear me.

he does not know we have a surprise for him. his audio is off out in los angeles. frank, a guest on the show a few weeks ago and worked with michael and he will join us and michael doesn't know it. we are going to get michael pally few.

moorhead lines 30 -- more of our headlines 30 minutes away. the most dominant defensive players of his er ax, the single season record for quaterback sacks, a seven-time pro bowler, and after capping the remarkable football career with a super bowl win, he moves to broadcasting. as an analyst for fox's nfl pregame show. >> i am responsible tore this gap? for this gap? now he is tackling a new career, as an actor starring in the new

fox comedy "brothers." >> don't do it. come on, hit me. well, he has gone hollywood where he joins us from today. please welcome michael. >> michael, great to have you back. you know, a few months ago we had a wonderful time with you. and how are you liking hollywood and the acting thing? what a change of pace from getting banged up in the nfl? >> i'm not sore on monday morning, how about that? it's really interesting. it's really good. being -- playing professional football 15 years and then to retire from that and get in the studio and talk about it. the acting thing is so different because totally different challenge than anything related to sports. >> you have run the gamut: nfl football player, sports analyst on fox, actor, you are doing the fox show.

got to and -- got to ask you, though, what do you like most if you look at the three different careers? winning the superpower! by far. winning the super bowl, sharing something like that with all the other guys and the coaches and the equipment staff and from everyone who helped us come together as a team and win, that was the most excitement and fun. but i'm very fortunate to have two other jobs, now, on fox n sunday and on "brothers" where i don't feel like i'm working. we have a good time, joke, lap. hopefully that comes across on tv very well. >> michael, the people at fox were happy to hear you didn't feel like you were working because they say the fact you feel that way they don't have to give you a collect so you are just wanting to do it free and they are happy to hear that. >> let's not give them any

ideas. >> they got it from you. they got it from you. >> i will show up when i want to show up, coming in late. >> i turn the table and talk something serious. there was a case in kentucky, a high school football coach put on trial, really, for a tragic death of a high school player who didn't get water during a very intense practice and the coach was being held criminally responsible. could have gone to prison for that were the jury acquitted him. but it brought up the issue of the pressure we put on athletes at all levels -- high school, college, the nfl. did you have a particular feeling about how that case played out? what did that case tell us and teach us? >> well, i feel like it was an unfortunate accident. one thing about professional football, it is about being macho and strong. when i was younger it was a sign of weakness to ask for water and now they are more conscious of

it including corey who passed away a few years ago, everyone is making sure you take care of the flavors but there is a little bit of that macho affect, well, i can stick it out. if you are needing water you are not tough enough. that is an unfortunate accident, and hopefully that coach learned from and all coaches learn from, make sure you take care of your players. it is an unfortunate accident. i feel bad for the parents. >> a horrible tragedy, but, you did have to think, goodness, if you criminalize every time something like that happens, it would be a lot of folks in our prison system. >> this is in the first time that has happened. and i think it is a tragic accident, just that: an accident. i hope we learn from that. i think with the nfl after the corey stringer incident, the head coach was walking and happening out war, giving you water -- handing out water,

giving you water. they want you to take the water break. they are conscious of hydration and making sure that guys are in shape before they put them on the field. make sure they don't push goods too hard. when a guy cops up and says, something's wrong, i don't feel well, in the past it was more "he is just lazy and doesn't want to practice," now they listen and say, what is wrong? come off the field until you are better or we check you out. there have been some positive things that came out of that. >> michael hang around i got something i want to ask you when we come back from the break. hang out with us.

>> back with michael strayhan and i told you we have a surprise for you. you have been part of this fox

football crew for a year and you are comfortable with most of the guys. but, you know, i don't know how comfortable they are with you. we have a special surprise, one of your colleagues is going to join us. we have our very special friend, one of my big sports heroes, terry bradshaw. >> what is michael doing on the show? i'm the star of the show. that is what it is about. he is taking up or space. his head takes up half the room and this guy is just showing up, give him a wart break, guys. >> michael, do you recognize that voice? that's -- either that is terry or "freight." >> what's up? he is not the only one who came to talk. we have more folks that want to talk.

coach madden hasn't left the stage yet, he's still around. what would coach madden want to give, advice to michael? >> actually a couple of questions i would like to ask michael. one is, being the great player that he's been, always will be, and, you know, will be in the future, what's it look to play against brett favre? that's an important one. and the over one, have you ever been to an orthodontist? frank does his piece for the show and we can't find him after he is finished. >> well, we want to strangle you sometimes. he is phenomenal. the curtain loves you. >> i tell you what, it's been great. michael has been an amazing addition to the show. when i first met him he ran into

the makeup room and i had no idea what he was doing and i thought he was coming after me but he gave me a big hug. so, frank ... >> you have to learn to take a joke, especially on our show. we never see what frank's going to do so when he comes on and we're watching, and we are watching it with everyone in the country for the first time, when that grabs everyone's attention, we are laughing out loud. he is so talented. i would love to see you look like me. make that happen. that's special. okay. frank, what advice would sean connery have for michael, if light of the hollywood gig? >> grow a beard and just meet some ladies. should he have al pacino showing up? >> leer's what i want you -- here's what i want you to do:

michael, don't ever look at the other actors. look the other way. that's the way. here we go. >> frank, you can't get away from here unless i hear you in the character of george bush telling us what you think about the new cowboy football stadium that the cowboys are playing in and george bush was there for the first game. >> i was. and it was ... it was amazing thing to see, to see such a ... such stuff. and, you know, they -- and there you go. >> okay, michael, i will give you the last word. you have a chance to get back at frank. what do you want to say to him before we wrap this up? >> frank, what i love to tell on behalf of myself and your other

co-workers on the fox nfl sunday show come on and hang out with us on sunday we have a surprise for you -- in person. >> thank you, both, michael and frank, our special guest here today. you don't need to read between the lines to understand their songs. they are simple men, they leave simple lives and speak through their lyrics. southern rock

>> we launched a partnership with "want to play" fund to put musical instruments in the hands of students across america, with a guitar signed by 35 celebrities with lots of

signatures including willie nelson and ray price and all proceeds buying instruments for students. i am thrilled to say the guitar sold with a bid of $9,000! if you want more information or want to play or make a tax deductible contribution click on the "want to play" fund. their legend is marked by tragedy as much by their success. yet they continue to rock on even after losing two more members of their band while recording "god and dispups." welcome, please, lynyrd skynyrd. >> great do have all of you here. johnny van zant and ricky. >> this is the coolest thing i have ever done on the show. >> it is cool for us to be with you. >> boy you lie, you should go into politics saying things like that. >> let's talk. this album, i frankly think

could be the best you have done, and i have been loving your music since you started in 1973 -- "god and guns," and a song called "simple life," and "that ain't my america," a song that every person who loves this country ought to listen to but you had cuff times losing -- you had tough times losing two members. after that happened, we thought, what would we do so myself, and gary and ricky and we finished this record nor them, for them and for our fans and for us. when anything bad has happened to us we have always gone back to the music and our fans. >> some of the tracks on the album have billy and --. >> they start the record with us back last year and when ian died

from cancer, he was getting treatments across town while we were recording and billy passed away in january emotionally it was a drain for all three of us, you know, to try and finish the record. but, especially when billy passed, it was, really, a big emotional drain but we had to do it for the fans and for those guys that was in trouble or that passed on, you know, and all the ones that went before us, went before them. and you know what? we're very proud of this record. this record to us is really special this our hearts. >> there is so much passion in this c.d -- sometimes you buy an album and there are good songs and others, you say "that's okay," but this is passion in every song. >> we have a lot of faith in the man above and he helps us out throughout this, too. >> you guys have been a phenomenal part of american

culture. you will do a song called "a simple life," let's hear it. ♪ when was the last time you sat with the kids and talked about what was going on with their lives♪ ♪ and when was the last time you helped somebody out♪ ♪ bet you can't remember ♪ a lot of people say, change is for the better♪ ♪ but that don't interest me ♪ i like the simple life the way it used to be♪ ♪ we left our doors wide open ♪ i've been around the world, seen all there is to see and i treasure those memories♪
